I have a working DX4350-UR21P Gateway Phenom II x6 6-core 2.9 Ghz computer I bought new in 2012. I tried to switch/put in a Phenom II x6 6-core 3.2 Ghz processor, and it is not working. Is there a way to get it to work? I just wanted to try to make it a little faster. I have faster systems, but my question is about this one. Please tell me. It seems like it is very possible.
OEM computers have very limited CPU support, you can't just drop in any CPU. Also, as bankrupt Gateway didn't publish upgrade capabilities, there is quite possibly no upgrade path for them.
